◈ Episode 66. What it means to be a colleague
As the light pod, the black pod, and the iron pod began to help each other, the slow-moving ones began to pick up speed.
The red hat and the ox-bearer at the rear were also running diligently, each carrying a chest.
Dongchogae, who had been observing the situation, spoke secretly to Jeokmogae.
“I think I should help Buntaju too?”
The red-haired man’s face was distorted terribly.
“Not us?”
“yes.”
“shit.”
As the frowning Red-faced Dog was examining the people in front of him, Dongchogae sneakily grabbed his sleeve.
“Don’t look far. Those who need help are right next to you.”
“… … .”
As the red-haired man clenched his fists, an uneasy feeling was detected from the direction of Geumho-dae, which had been running smoothly until then.
Geumho Dae Ijo Jang Gi Yu-seong calmly followed Dangcheon’s side as he ran.
“The deputy mayor’s complexion is not good.”
I glanced back and saw Jin Seol-ran with a pale face and a cold sweat pouring down her face.
‘no way.’
I tried not to care, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the memory loss I had a few days ago.
Dangcheon slowed down and approached Jinseolran.
“Bring the box here.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Don’t be stubborn. If you fall behind here, it’s a loss for everyone.”
“I won’t fall behind.”
“… … .”
Due to her stubbornness, Dangcheon had no choice but to return to his original place.
Jeong I-seon, the leader of Geumho-dae and a lay disciple of Ami-pa, and Bo-in, a disciple of the main temple, approached him.
“Vice-captain. Are you okay?”
“You still have a long way to go to reach your destination. Don’t overdo it.”
Jin Seol-ran tried to smile.
“I’m fine.”
Even if the owner of the unit himself could not provide help, he could not become a burden to his subordinates.
Her colleagues could only sigh and follow her at her firm refusal.
Cheonmu Daeju Gu Yangmu looked back as if he was surprised.
Even though they were speeding up, their opponents were keeping up quite well.
‘Haha. Right. It wouldn’t be fun if you gave up so easily.’
Seongyeon, a young nun with bald head and the head of the unit, approached Guyangmu, who was picking up speed even more.
“You’re going too fast. The kids won’t be able to keep up.”
“If you can’t even keep up with this much, how can you be called a warrior of the Four Heavenly Alliance? If you feel like you’re falling behind, I’ll slow down, so don’t worry.”
Gwangryong Jinmurip.
The young prince of Madorim, who gradually began to prove his worth and reveal his true value amidst the rumors.
Goo Yang-moo wanted to see the man, who always had confident eyes and speech, and never lost his dignity, cry.
‘Jinmu Rip. I admit that I won’t be able to shake you off easily. But no matter how hard you try, will your subordinates be able to keep up without getting tired?’
As we increase our speed, the heavy breathing behind us becomes increasingly rough.
Guyangmu’s smile deepened as he glanced behind him.
‘If you are the leader, come running and beg me.’
Jinmu-rip’s sparkling eyes did not miss the smile that passed by in the darkness.
‘You want to give it a try?’
The other person’s intentions are obvious.
But I have no intention of giving in here.
Jinmu Rip took out his silver sword and cut down a tree branch as thick as a leg in one stroke.
Danryehwa tilted her head and asked.
“What are you doing?”
“I have to use my head.”
Jinmu Rip cut off three branches of similar thickness, took out the silk thread he had acquired from Sannae Village, and began tying it up.
Yu Dae-ha, who noticed Jin Mu-rip’s thoughts, immediately held out his Cheonjamsa.
“You’re quick-witted.”
Jinmu-rip smiled and took it and tied it to a tree branch.
After a while, it was completed and it was a chair-shaped carrying pole.
“Yongchu!”
“yes.”
Jinmu Rip handed over the chest of Yongchu, who had come near, to Yu Dae-ha and had him carry it on his back.
While Kang Yu-wol and Ha Jong-bo watched with interest from the rear, Jin Mu-rip lifted the three struggling iron sword squad leaders and sat them on the carrier.
“You don’t have to do this.”
They spoke with guilty faces, feeling like they were a burden, but Jinmu Rip paid no attention to them at all.
“This is what it means to be a colleague. Take a break and conserve your strength to speak.”
In the quiet mountains at night, there was no one who did not hear those words.
The moved warriors looked at Jinmu-rip with trembling eyes.
Jinmu-rip immediately called Yu Dae-ha.

“Judea. From now on, you will lead the crowd and follow them.”
The carrying pole that three people can sit on is wide from left to right.
If you forcibly cut down all the obstacles to make a path, too many traces will remain.
In that case, we have to go back to a wider area.
Judaea nodded.
“All right.”
Jinmu-rip then spoke to Danryehwa.
“Move to the rear. If anyone seems to be falling behind, send me a signal immediately.”
“all right.”
When two large trees blocked the road ahead, Jinmu Rip led Yongchu and moved to the right.
Jinmu-rip carrying four chests and Yongchu carrying three people on his back.
When they, who must have had it harder than anyone else, did not hesitate to return and sacrificed themselves for their colleagues, the exhausted subordinates gritted their teeth and found strength.
This was because if they fell behind, the number of chests containing Jinmu-rip would increase and Yongchu’s shoulders would become heavier.
‘He’s really something.’
The Iron Sword Lord Army’s name stuck out its tongue inwardly.
It is not difficult for the person above to speak out.
However, there is no one whose heart would not be swayed by such actions.
As he was running like that, the sound of the Danryehwa reached Jinmu-rip’s ears.
[The name of Geumho University’s vice-president is a little strange.]
As she said, Jin Seol-ran, drenched in sweat all over her body, was running with all her might, refusing help from her colleagues.
Jin Mu-rip glanced to the side and immediately sent a message to Jo Yeong-seong.
[Do you have time?]
Jo Young-seong is already carrying one more box.
But he couldn’t cry to Jinmu-rip, who was having a harder time than him.
[Still in good shape.]
[You are in the lead from now on.]
[I won’t miss it.]
As Jo Yeong-seong moved to the lead, Jin Mu-rip called Yoo Dae-ha, handed over one of his chests, and disappeared.
Jin Seol-ran gritted her teeth and shook her head as only the faint sound of footsteps back and forth echoed.
The pain in both shoulders gradually subsides and my vision becomes blurry.
The wound from the wound was crushed by the strap of the chest, blocking the circulation of the intestines.
‘I’m the captain. I have to hold on.’
Since the Great Lord is indifferent to the troops, he himself must come to his senses.
When she was fighting a lonely battle with herself.
“You’ll die if you do that.”
Suddenly a voice was heard from beside her, and her two feet rose into the air.
“ah!”
Startled, she realized who it was only after her buttocks touched the railing.
“Gwangmu… … No, the patriarch?”
She sat on the chest with her legs draped over Jinmu-rip’s shoulders and her eyes widened in surprise.
And the Geumho-dae running back and forth also looked at Jinmu-rip as if they were just as surprised as her.
With three chests already in his hands, he had no idea that he would be helping the Geumho-dae, who he was on bad terms with.
“It’s tight over there.”
Amijae Boyin, who was running right in front, grimaced.
“It’s not tight, it’s visible.”
“Come and get this box for me.”
Jin Seol-ran said urgently.
“It’s okay. I can run.”
“This is my order, given to me by the Lord. Hand over the chest to the servant.”
Boin opened the box of Jinseolran as if he had been waiting for those words.
Jinseolran said with a stiff face.
“I said I was okay.”
As she tried to hurry down, Jinmu-rip held her legs tightly and said.
“If you come down without my permission, I will consider it as disobedience and send you back here.”
“… … .”
She bit her lip with a pained expression.
‘The country needs to come to its senses and do better.’
Although he had said harsh words to Dangcheon a few days ago, he is not free from responsibility.
So I didn’t want to be a burden to my colleagues anymore.
That’s why this situation is so painful.
Jinmu-rip’s voice reached her ears as she sobbed quietly.
“You don’t have to handle everything by yourself. If you feel inadequate, you should be honest about it and know how to get help. That’s what a colleague is.”
The soft echo of the voice reached the ears of the Geumho Army running nearby.
The sixth general of Geumho University, Ami’s disciple Jeong Yi-seon, placed his hand on Jinmu Rip’s chest.
“Please give me one.”
“Okay.”
“Honestly, isn’t it true that a colleague is someone who knows how to receive help?”
“That’s for when you have a shortage.”
A confident smile appeared on Jinmu-rip’s lips.
“I am perfect.”
Jeong Yi-seon turned her head and muttered with a frown.
“I feel unlucky.”
“ha ha ha!”
When Jinmu-rip bursts into laughter.
‘shit.’
Kookcheolyoung frowned deeply.
This is because Jinmu Rip’s actions and attitude, all of them, were compared to his own narrow-minded behavior in the training ground.
The wind of change blew from a single word from Jinmu Rip.
The leaders of the Geumho Army, who had been running forward without looking back, looked around and then began to approach other unmanned personnel who were having a hard time.
Kang Yu-wol, who had been watching the whole situation from behind, looked at Jin Mu-rip as if he was proud.
‘He is truly a great man.’
Ha Jong-bo’s expression was no different.
‘The gap between the four major factions and the small and medium-sized factions that no one could bridge was changed by one child’s action. Hehe.’
There is no one here right now who cares about one’s origins.
All they see before their eyes is a colleague who is struggling.
He could understand why Kang Yu-wol thought so highly of Jin Mu-rip.
‘If it’s that kid… … maybe he can change the stereotypical Sacheonmaeng.’
I vaguely think so.
Jinmu Rip was a man who made one feel a strange sense of anticipation just by watching him.
As his colleagues at Geumho University began to move, Kookcheol Yeongdo also began to look around.
Then, Dang Joong-ho narrowed his eyes and called out to him softly.
“Cheolyoung.”
“I can’t be the only one who’s trash.”
Gukcheolyeong approached Army Myung, who was running while carrying three boxes.
“Give me one.”
Army Myeong, who had been staring blankly at Kookcheolyeong, smiled and handed over the box.
“thanks.”
The unmanned vehicles riding on Yongchu’s back jumped down and spoke.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to rest well.”
“Send the dying children here.”
Even though he was carrying three people, he didn’t show any sign of fatigue.
‘He may seem overshadowed by the light of the Patriarch, but he is also a truly great person.’
They laughed without hesitation.
“All right.”
As Jinmu Rip said, colleagues are those who help each other when times are tough.
At that moment, someone suddenly climbed onto Yongchu’s back.
“Brother. My younger brother is dying.”
The man with a sad face was Dongchogae.
Yongchu said with a grin.
“Take a rest there.”
Then, the two people who had been at the very back climb onto Yongchu’s back.
The Unryongak warriors encouraged and helped each other as they followed behind Cheonmu-dae without letting go.
There was no way that the commander of the Cheonmu Daeju, Guyangmu, could not have been unaware of the busy movements in the rear.
‘What kind of guy is that?’
He clicked his tongue inwardly as he watched Jinmu-rip bring about change through his actions.
I thought he would start crying on his own after running for a while, but he is actually uniting his subordinates and overcoming adversity.
‘You even made the four great factions into one?’
I’m speechless.
At this point, I’m starting to get annoyed.
Just as Guyangmu, with his eyes shining coldly, was deciding to give it his all, Jinmurip from the rear quickly approached.
“Please stop now.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Guyangmu’s lips.
‘I won.’
The most dignified and noble man of all has finally knelt before her.
He looked back at Jinmu-rip and said.
“Your attitude toward asking for favors is impolite.”
“It’s not a request.”
“what?”
“They all came.”
Only then does the dim scenery of the surrounding mountain birds come into Guyangmu’s eyes.
Cheonseol Valley.
The snow-covered valley before their eyes was supposed to be their next resting place.
It started out as a half-joke, but at some point it became serious and I started running without even realizing that I had reached my destination.
“Ha, hahaha.”
I find myself laughing.
At this point, I couldn’t help but acknowledge my opponent.
He is truly an amazing guy.
Gu Yangmu, who had slowly slowed down, stopped at the edge of the cliff.
Soon, the empty smile on his lips faded and turned into a bitter laugh.
The gazes of the tall Guyangmu and Jinmurip collided in the air.
“I lost.”
“Where is there victory or defeat between colleagues with the same goal?”
Jinmu Lip said so, but Guyangmu could not help but admit his complete defeat.
He turned around and said.
“We will stay here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongchogae was the first to lie down on the floor.
“Ugh! I’m dying.”
The red-crowned crane, which had set down its box, kicked the dongcho-gae.
“You even left the chest of drawers on me and sat comfortably on the carrier, so how can you shamelessly lie down here?”
“Our little prince said that helping each other in difficult times is what makes colleagues.”
The redhead was shocked by his shamelessness.
“Again, again, it’s our little prince.”
While Jeokmogae and Dongchogae were bickering, Jinmurip looked at his subordinates and said.
“Those who can stand, prepare for camp, and those who are tired, rest as they are.”
Despite Jinmu Rip’s instructions, no one sat down to rest.
We came this far by helping each other.
Because everyone knows that there is no one here who does not have a hard time.
They joined forces with their tired comrades and quickly built a barracks.
The Yunlong Pavilion warriors moving busily with their bodies exhausted are captured in Guyangmu’s eyes.
‘It’s like I’m an adult who bullies children.’
Guyangmu, who had been quietly watching them, turned around to hide his bitter smile.
There was no longer any distinction between the four major factions and the small and medium factions.
When Jinmu Rip took the lead, they helped their close colleagues and quickly progressed the work.
Ha Jong-bo, who had been sitting down to rest for a while, stood up and dusted himself off.
“Let us help too.”
“Is that so?”
“If you think about it, aren’t we also comrades on this mission?”
Kang Yu-wol burst into laughter.
“Hehehe. That’s true too.”
The two men, who had decided to stand in line, finished building the camp and fell asleep as soon as they lay down.
Although the exhaustion of my physically exhausted body was indescribable, my heart was lighter than ever.
As the day passed and night came again, they hastened to prepare to depart with their tired bodies.
There were no more trials on the heavenly stage.
Those who continued their quiet march finally passed the valley of the Daeseol Mountain Range and reached the border of Seojang.
